Latarian "Real Talk" Milton is back!
This week just keeps getting better and better. First, I found all of those uncut videos, and now, it's been announced that Latarian "Real Talk" Milton is gonna be on TV. What's next, is Natalie Portman gonna show up to my house with some fried chicken?
In case you've been living under a rock these past few weeks, Latarian Milton is the seven year-old boy from Florida who stole his grandma's SUV on dubs and took it on a joyride in a Costco parking lot, causing countless thousands of dollars of damage in the process. The video of the news segment with him talking about how he has a friend who likes to smoke with cigarettes and explaining how it's fun to do bad things is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.
Then, a week or so later, he damn near managed to one up himself. He was placed in a hospital for mental evaluation after he beat the living shit out of his aforementioned grandma in a Wal-Mart, because she wouldn't buy him, you guessed it, some chicken wings. Unfortunately, there's no video of this incident that's been made available to the public. But there was another news segment, complete with more footage of him looking fucking hilarious.
For his next act, he's gonna be appearing on an episode of Judge Judy, along with his grandma, as well as his mother, who's yet to appear in any of these news segments. I'm assuming she has drug issues, which is how the grandma got custody of Latarian in the first place. A story in the Palm Beach Post the other day breaks down how the mother and the grandma were convinced to appear on the show. The fucked up thing about it is, it sounds like the producers of the show talked Latarian's grandma into suing his mother just to get them to appear on the show.
To wit:
"Judge Judy contacted me about two days after my grandson took the SUV," Stratford recalled Monday.
That was April 25, when drivers called 911 to report "a small person driving a car" in the vicinity of Northlake Boulevard and Congress Avenue in Lake Park. No one was hurt, but the boy was charged with stealing the car, then returned to his family.
"I said, 'Oh, no, my dignity means more to me than your show,' " Stratford said she told Judge Judy producers. "I watch Judge Judy, and I know what she's capable of."
Next, the producers called the boy's mother.
"I have mixed feelings because I kind of think this will look like a reward to him," Mickeens said.
But both women agreed to play along. So on May 23, Stratford sued her daughter in Palm Beach County Court for $5,000.
"I didn't know I had grounds to sue my daughter until Judge Judy called and told me what grounds I could sue her on," Stratford said. "I would have sued. I just didn't know how."
Stratford said she was told the show will pay any money the judge awards. The family will get a trip to Hollywood and a fee out of the deal as well.
"She pays you to be on the show," said Stratford, who declined to say how much she and her daughter would split. "But it's worth my while. Trust me."
That's real talk.
